Bill > SB2083

This bill amends Tennessee law regarding healthcare facilities, specifically concerning "homes for the aged," which are defined as facilities providing domiciliary care, room, board, and personal services to elderly individuals. The key change is an increase in the number of nonrelated individuals a home can house while still being classified as a "tier 1 home for the aged," raising the maximum from three to five. Consequently, the definition of a "tier 2 home for the aged" is also adjusted to include homes housing six or more nonrelated individuals, up from the previous threshold of four. This adjustment aims to redefine the capacity thresholds for these types of residential care facilities in Tennessee.
